Universal shooting style?
Hi everybody! One of the reasons I love this sport/hobby and forum, is there are so many things you can learn from fellow shooters. Once you try it, it either works for you or it doesn't. You can take what works for you and end up developing your own style of shooting.
I primarily shoot PFS. I shoot this way with all my frames. Whether it is a dedicated pfs frame, a gapper, OTT frame, or a wide OTT frame. I don't worry about frame hits or changing my pouch hold and release. I just have to slightly adjust my aiming point. I've always felt comfortable and confident shooting this way.
The one way I'm not confident in shooting is with dedicated TTF frames. There are so many awesome and beautiful frames out there both mass produced and custom builds. I didn't want to spend the money on a great frame and get that one frame hit that messes up a beautiful custom. I want to shoot all my frames and not just display them as an art piece because I'm too scared to shoot it, until now...
I recently saw a video showing a ttf set up on a pfs with no gap. It was put in a vice grip. The shooter twisted and tweaked the pouch and it went right over. I was trying all night last night to find it. I wasn't sure if it was posted on this forum or another. If you guys know the video please post the link here. Thank you!
I tried it out for the first time today setting up my clone and PP SERE in the TTF format. I drew, twisted, and tweaked like usual and to my surprise it worked! I tried it outside with some clays first, then indoors with some rubber ammo, and now I'm hitting a 1/2 inch target and cutting cans with 3/8 steelys indoors!
I know TTF frames are not meant to be shot this way, but it works for me. Now I don't have to miss out on those awesome TTF frames out there and I am confident I can shoot any frame the same way and not worry about a fork hit!
Thanks to everyone on this forum and all the shooters out there who posted ideas, information, and videos! Slingshots have become and will continue to be a life long journey for me till the end!
